Guided Meditation For End Of The Year Reflection

This is a guided meditation that centers on self reflection. Oftentimes we forget to do that in the chaos of life. This is also the second time I have had the honor of working on a specific meditation with my band mate Diamond Davis. Her gentle tones will be sure to soothe your soul and lead you into a place of healing.

Welcome to your guided meditation. For this meditation we will reflect on the time that has passed. We will be grateful for what it has given us and what we have learned and we will carry that forward. Make sure that you are now in a comfortable position, Either sitting with your feet on the floor and your back straight or lying down. I invite you to breathe with me, Cleansing breaths with the intention to reflect. Deep inhales at the count of four, Holding at the apex, Releasing at the count of eight. Inhale, One, Two, Three, Four, Holding, Two, Three. Exhale, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight. Again, One, Two, Three, Four, Hold, One, Two. Exhale, Eight, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, And one. In this relaxed place, Feel your body being supported by the ground under you, By the chair, The bed, The floor. Feel it holding your weight and taking on that which you care. Imagine now that there is this wonderful, Warm energy that you connect to deep within the earth. This energy begins to connect to you and through you, Up from your feet, Through your ankles, Your calves, Your knees, Thighs, Hips, Your abdomen, Back, Through your chest, Your shoulders, Your arms and your hands, Up through your neck, Your face, Your chin, Your cheeks, Your eyes, Up through the third eye and the crown chakra. Feel the energy feel you, Feel the energy flow through you, Flow. Imagine as you relax in your rhythmic, Natural breath. As this energy fills you, There is this warm light. The light begins to get brighter and brighter as it comes closer and closer to you. And as you get closer to it, You reach out and there is a door, A beautiful wooden crafted door with an old iron handle. You pull the door open and there is a long corridor. The corridor is filled with beautiful flowers and butterflies and wild green grass. As you walk through the corridor, At the end, There opens up into a bright light and that light opens into a huge garden, A field of flowers of color, Of warm light. Look around, Observe the beauty. This is beauty that relies on you as it has you. Reflect upon this past year and this time, The trials and tribulations, The challenges. Just breathe. We all have challenges. It is a part of life's ebb and flow. What is important is that we remain mindful and steadfast in controlling how we move through those moments. Allow yourself kindness and compassion in the moments that you have lost yourself, Lost your cool, Not controlled your tongue. Offer yourself forgiveness for any decisions that you made that just didn't quite turn out to be the outcome that you'd hoped for. Offer yourself compassion for goals that seem to still sit on the calendar. Calendar. Offer yourself patience. Take a deep breath. Breathe in deeply. Hold it. Breathe out. This time, As we breathe in and out, We are going to let go of any insecurity, Any blockage, Any doubt that comes from the residue of reflection. As we breathe out, We are going to audibly let go. And so we take a deep breath in, In two, Three, Four, Hold in. In, Out. One more time. Deep breath. In three, Four, Hold. Let it go, People. Let it go. Ah. Again, Breathe in. Let it go. When you exhale, Let it go. In, In. Ah. Until the breath is lighter, Until it is clearer, Allow yourself room to let go in this moment. Return now to a calmer breath. Look around this beautiful garden. Look and see the colors, The textures. Look at what you have created in this space of your mind. This power continues to exist within you. It continues to grow. It is a part of the universe which is infinite and unending. Tap into that power. Breathe that in. And now as we sit here in this garden, We connect to this energy. We connect to this earth and we allow this energy of creation within us, This power of divine intelligence, This cosmos that is within and without. Let us draw from it now as we connect again. And this energy now flows from all around us. We see and it is in our crown chakra flowing from the tops of our heads. It is flowing into us, Filling us. We can feel the warm tingling as it flows, Because in our eye, Our cheeks, Our nose, Our chin, Our neck, Our shoulders, Our arms, And our hands, Our chest and abdomen, Hips and thighs, Our knees, Calves, Ankles, Feet and toes are now filled with that source energy. It is always with us. It is always available to us. Feel it fill you up. Feel it flowing all through your body, Becoming a part of each and every cell of your being. The power of love, The power of compassion, The power of creativity, Of healing, Of abundance and prosperity is all within. Now sit up in that garden. Come to your feet in the garden and look around again in that beauty and magnificence with you. Begin to walk back to that light. Back through the light that carries you into the hall that transformed from chaos. Bring yourself back through that corridor and rediscovery. See the beautiful door. Open it and come back into the warm light of your spirit. Breathe in that warm light knowing that you carry it always with you. Knowing that you are one with all of the greatness and all of the beauty and abundance that surrounds you. Move forward with the intention to allow that light to shine wherever you are. Allow yourself to be. Allow yourself love. Breathe. Deep breath. As you return now to the space and place in which you are, Carry this light. Allow movement now with your hands and your feet, Your neck. Slowly open your eyes and bring yourself back. Be kind to yourself. Hydrate and I hope that you've enjoyed this reflective meditation. Peace and love.
